Introduction
Hot day. Blinding sun. Surviving the obstacle course that are Detroit freeways I find myself lost in this deserted marketplace.
Empty market booths, garages, shadows. A few wanderers about. Excellent location for a shoot. But it this the right place? Checking my mapquest printout. Then I hear the cell. "Where are you, are you here yet?" It's Nou. "um, yeah... I think so. "I mumble with such confidence. She guides me to where she was waiting... She steps out of her car. "Nice to finally meet you" as I shook her hand. Wow, so gorgeous. Such a smile…!
After the photoshoot I get a chance to learn a little bit more about the ms. Nou Li.
--------
so how did you get started in modeling?
My mom put me through training courses at the school of John Casablancas Model and talent. I was only 13 yrs old and and as time flew by i gained experience and knowledge starting out with the opportunities the Modeling Classes and the people i got to know had provided me with. Thats pretty much how i began.
what attracted you to the import car scene?
The attractions of the Import scene were the massive community of asians that were obviously involved as well as the meeting people in a fun environment too.
any events coming where your fans may have a chance of meeting you?
I tour with Pmgirls.com and Maztermind.com, so just be sure to check out their tour/schedule dates!
being a smoking hot model, no doubt you get hit on all the time (ahhh the consquence of beauty). So how do you handle all of that?
Its only at random times i realize it....most likely at shows, because you kinda expect it....but the best way to deal with it is to NOT flirt back but just simply say Hi, how are you?... as if it were nothing...or just talk to them like normal...no one should feel inferior to you unless otherwise.
so what does a guy have to do to get your attention? Well, when a guy doesnt PAY attention and he's got my attention really gets my attention! haha. =P
metro or retro?
bit of both??
any turn-offs?
mmm...?? ....bad hygiene and a snobby attitude.
so what does nou li do outside of modeling?
I attend college full time and work at a lovely little Thai restaurant owned by my bf's family.(part time). I also like designing a lot of things like clothes, purses, etc, flyers...writing lyrics, singin, dancing.
what career goals or plans do you have?
To become a graphic designer and one day open a printing company as well as long term run my own talent agency, etc.
what do you do for fun?
I went fishing the other day on a row-boat and caught a bass...it was fun cause he only caught blue gills.
Interesting… how about favorite foods?
Thai food, Pho, papaya salad, etc.
favorite cars? speed or bling?
Jaguar X16 -someone needs to tell me what year it is...=/ and speed over bling, but i prefer both.
what's your take on being a young asian american today?
It's not as tough as how our parents may have had it, as a matter of fact its not tough at all on that aspect, realizing everyone -no matter race, ethnicity, etc. we all deal with similar things every day....other than that..the opportunities are expanding and more and more in our reach. I believe we've got the brains, drive, and heart to do whatever it takes to be at the top.
Well Nou, thank you again for spending some time for a few photos and lil chat. Wish you the best for 2005 and lots of good times!
And with a wave and smile, she hops into her car and speeds off into the distance…
